    Effect of protein malnutrition on the metabolism of uteral collagen in the rat.
    (1981-12) Rao, J Sambasiva; Rao, V H
    Protein malnutrition in the rat resulted in a reduction in the syntehsis of collagen as determined by changes in the specific and total radioactivity incorporated following a single injection of [3H]-proline. It was also accompanied by a retardation in the maturation of soluble to insoluble collagen. In addition, protein deficiency was accompanied by decreased rates of catabolism of both soluble and insoluble collagen.
